Lukas Mathis touts many webOS features that he wants other vendors to steal. All this stuff just makes me more sad I never got to try webOS on anything because nobody gives a rat's bum about The Netherlands. WebOS never came to market here. Especially its multitasking with cards looks so much more elegant than the horrible "multi"tasking implementations on Android and iOS. Hopeful note: Matias Duarte now heads the UX team for Android.

1 thing I disagree with the article on is the accounts. While that's great for a phone or other personal device, my TouchPad is a communal device (between myself and my girlfriend). Having centralised accounts makes things like e-mail and facebook a lot harder to manage in app.

maemo, webos and, for extend, winphone7 are PERSONNAL product. what you want is MULTIUSER product. as the day of today, on mobile space, that doesn't exist.
BUT, if you use a more linuxish os, you could have a multi user environment.
